export pdfs
From what I can find in searching documentation, Zot does not allow exporting of pdfs. Is this still the case? If so, then perhaps this could be moved to the "Feature requests". Thanks
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
a) drag individual pdfs or groups of pdfs to the file system and
b) set up a saved search in your operating system for PDFs in the Zotero storage folder to get all of the PDFs in Zotero at once.
Does neither do what you need? I'm not sold on the idea to call something "export" in Zotero that just throws out PDFs, as all other exports include metadata.
So your suggested "option a)" works 1 file at a time. I am not sure what you mean under "option b)" As for "Feature request" - it is simply asking for this option. But actually as I type - I am thinking - OK - just highlight & export using Zotfile?(Manage attachments -> send to tablet). Thanks, R

a) check that the file still opens from Zotero
b) if so, check where the file is that gets opened (use right-click --> "Show File")
c) let us know if you have anything under "Custom Location" in the ZotFile preferences
1) Yes - pdfs still open BOTH from pdf daughter (for Neufeldt - it has re-appeared again!!?) & from links
2) The files (pdfs) are in my Zotero Storage folder (the Neufeldt in its randomly allocated sub-folder (C:\Zot_References\Storage\garbage\*.pdf) & the others simply "loose" in storage (C:\Zot_References\Storage\*.pdf)
3) Yes - as modified by me: C:\Zot_References\Storage (Note too - in Zotfile - general settings, the 1st box (source folder for attaching new files) is custom C:\Zot_References
